[ matt can't possibly hold back a choked laugh at scott's honey remark, and he buries his face in the man's neck for a minute, arms wrapping around him. ] You're ridiculous. [ but it's one of matt's favorite things about him, and he kisses a line up scott's neck, still laughing. ] Amazing and ridiculous.

[ he indulges in that kiss, fingers splayed wide across scott's back, and only reluctantly lets him pull away. but now he can get rid of that shirt, which while worn into softness is currently too much in the way of what matt wants. that barrier thrown aside, he wastes no time running his hands over scott's abdomen as he leaves a line of kisses from jaw to shoulder. ]

My gut tells me that sometimes this- [ he kisses scott on the mouth again, warm and lingering ] gets a little out of control and causes you trouble. But that this- [ he stretches up to press his lips to the faint line between scott's brows ] is clever and creative and this- [ now he ducks down, encouraging scott to lean back a little in order to lick a stripe up his sternum ] is strong and brave and full of passion.
